2021 F150 Platinum PowerBoost Max Tow FX4 7.2KW
Occupation
IT
Just replaced my OEM Hankook Dynapro AT2 275/60/20. They were five for what they are: light, soft and quiet road tires.

I had read on threads here that this size AT4W would fit the stock rims and not rub. TireRack said the same. So figured I'd give them a try.

Truck is '21 Platinum PB Max Tow, FX4 w/6.5' bed.

They've only been on a day so hardly a full test. Notes:

No rub
Look way better
Very slight mid pitch hum on highway
Way more responsive to turning input vs cushy AT2.

Looking at different size tires. Let me know about rubbing and flexing some also.

What pressure are you running at and how does it ride? That's one hell of a heavy 33.5" tire at 68lbs!
F2 load range 12 ply -- way way overkill. I'd expect a firm ride, just don't under inflate it

Drive it through a ditch diagonally and see what happens
That's the thing. I live in Daytona. My driveway is about the steepest hill I'll encounter! Just wanted something fat to keep me on top of the beach sand.

I'll report back when I have more to say. I don't drive most days, so I just drove it home from Discount Tire, parked it, and it hasn't moved since.

I'll be doing some driving the rest of Dec though, so I should have good qualitative and quantitative feedback in January.

I ended up getting the Firestone AT/3 for the snow rating. I had a hard time on snow with the Hankooks. They were the worst for snow that I ever experienced.

Looking good on your truck!

2021 XLT Screw 5.0,4x4,302Asport,
Higher weight (68lbsv41lbs)= slower acceleration, heavier braking needed, worse MPG.
Wider tire, = better dry cornering, poorer wet grip (ok so the stock tires don't offer much anyway).

There are definitely other good tires out there that maintain that size but are lighter. I just hope you still like them in a year or so.......
